Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices WHITE BREAD
  • 50 g UNSALTED BUTTER
  • 50 g RAISINS
  • 300 ml WHOLE MILK
  • 100 ml HEAVY CREAM
  • 3 large EGG YOLKS
  • 50 g CASTER SUGAR
  • 1 whole VANILLA BEAN
  • 1 tsp NUTMEG

Instructions
 

  • Butter each slice of bread very generously. Cut the slices into small triangles or squares. Arrange half the bread in the baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the raisins over the first bread layer. Add the rest of the buttered bread on top. Make sure the crusts face upwards for crunch.
  • Heat the milk and cream in a pan. Add the vanilla seeds to the warm liquid. Do not let the mixture reach a boil.
  • Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together well. Slowly pour the warm milk into the eggs. Stir constantly so the eggs do not cook.
  • Pour the custard over the bread in the dish. Let it sit for ten minutes to soak. This makes the bread very soft and heavy.
  • Grating fresh nutmeg over the top of the dish. Place the dish in a preheated oven now. Bake until the top is golden and bubbly.

Notes

  • Use stale bread for a much better texture.
  • Soak the raisins in warm water first to soften.
  • Do not overcook or the custard will turn dry.
  • Spread butter to the very edges of the bread.
  • Always use heavy cream for a richer tasting pudding.
  • Let the pudding rest before serving to set fully.
  • Add lemon zest for a bright and citrusy kick.
